Ray is a very great piano teacher. He knows what he’s doing. He’s honest about what you need to improve on but he’s patient as well. I was hesitant to book him at first because during the trial lesson, I was nervous to show where I was at on my skills with the piano but once I decided to go with him, the more I worked with him, he’s the real deal. He’s knows everything from music theory, playing by ear, and he’s affordable which is the main reason why I searched for another piano teacher. My lessons are virtual and they have been going by well so far. He emails you a recap after every lesson as well as your homework assignment. At the end of the day, how much practice you do is what’s going to determine how far you will get when it comes to becoming a great musician. I would highly recommend Ray to anyone looking to take piano lessons with a great teacher. You won’t be disappointed.

Ray is the best teacher you’ll ever find! You won’t find a teacher like him, especially considering the quality of his lessons, the time and check-ins he provides throughout the week, and the incredibly competitive pricing for a one-hour session. I started wanting to learn only jazz / piano theory but finding great pleasure in starting from the beginning and learning the foundation. I’ve been playing and off since I was five years old, but in just two sessions, Ray was able to assess my musical level and recommend the appropriate course of action and plan. I picked back up again as an adult learner because I needed music to heal a specific area in my life. In just two months, I’ve been able to play one octave scale in all 12 keys with the correct fingerings—something that was impossible for me to accomplish for years. But most importantly, I’m finding passion and value in my practice time, which is accelerating my learning and increasing my satisfaction as an intermediate musician. I highly recommend Ray and encourage you to book him as soon as possible before he’s all booked up!

If you are a novice bass player and wish to improve your skills to higher levels, Ray is the instructor for you. I’ve watched many bass videos on Youtube, but after taking lessons with Ray, I honestly feel that my knowledge is starting to supercede most experienced bass players. Ray does not only teach you how to play bass, he teaches you about music theory. Basic principles needed to enhance your playing – it’s the little things that count. That’s the info that differentiates a good bass player from a great one. I look forward to each lesson in anticipation of learning something new. Ray provides a comfortable and fun environment as you learn. If you’re hesitant or nervous about stepping out and fulfilling a long time dream, your worries are over – Ray is the one to call.
